I have had the book for years.
There is no exaggeration that it is a tough pickup- every football coach across the land uses it as a psalmbook.
It is an extraordinary piece of work. Even includes how to negotiate with an agent.

They talk about that book in depth on the Bill Walsh "A Football Life." Brian Billick was one of his ghost-writers, and he said Walsh pretty much put his entire life story, his entire playbook and his entire coaching philosophy (right down to practice and meeting schedules) in there. It's well over 500 pages long, which is HUGE for a memoir.

Yeah, The "A Football Life" is pretty fascinating. He was never a very happy guy and was very tough on those around him. The stuff about Brown blackballing him from getting a NFL job was amazing stuff.
